Understand the Distinctions of Custom Clothing
Learn the differences between Bespoke, Made-To-Measure, Made-To-Order, and Off-The-Rack
When you are finally ready to order a piece of custom clothing, you might find yourself confused when it comes to terminology. What distinguishes a bespoke suit from a made-to-measure suit, and how does custom clothing differ from off-the-rack clothing? You might not even be sure if custom clothing is worth the money for you.
It doesn’t help that many retailers are also unclear about these distinctions or intentionally create confusion to benefit themselves. With the information in this section, you’ll be able to clear up exactly what distinguishes the various types of custom clothing and be able to make informed decisions if you decide to invest in a custom menswear article. From a bespoke pair of shoes to a custom-made hat, we have you completely covered.
